PVA-co-PE can be used as a membrane in a variety of applications like filtration, biosensor and food sensors. It can also be used as a nanoporous membrane, which can potentially be used as a separator in energy vehicles and lithium ion batteries.
PVA-co-PE can be used in the formation of nanofibrous membranes for the development of high performance adsorption materials. It can also be used to form membranes for potential applications such as lithium ion batteries, biosensors and microfluidic devices.
Poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (PVA-co-PE) is a hydrophilic non-toxic polymer with good film forming ability. Its other properties include biocompatibility, high tensile strength and low fouling potential.
